The 2025 CJ Cup Byron Nelson is set to get underway on Thursday, May 1, and several players will enter this week’s event confident they can secure the victory. Taylor Pendrith is the defending champion and has secured three top-10 finishes this season, including a T-5 showing at the Texas Children’s Houston Open in March. With another win at TPC Craig Ranch this week, he’ll join K.H. Lee (2021-22) as the only golfer to win this event in back-to-back years.
Meanwhile, Scottie Scheffler, the No. 1-ranked player in the world, can add to his impressive resume with a victory at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson 2025. Scheffler is going off as the +280 betting favorite, according to the latest 2025 CJ Cup Byron Nelson odds at FanDuel Sportsbook. He’s followed by Jordan Spieth (18-1), Sungjae Im (22-1), Byeong Hun An (25-1) and Pendrith (25-1) on the PGA odds board.

2025 CJ Cup Byron Nelson predictions
One major surprise the model is calling for at the 2025 CJ Cup Byron Nelson: Jordan Spieth, a 13-time PGA Tour champion and one of the top favorites, stumbles this week and doesn’t even crack the top five. Spieth has been playing well in recent weeks, finishing T-18 or better in each of his last three starts.
However, Spieth hasn’t won a PGA Tour event since 2022 and missed the cut at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson in 2024. The 31-year-old is currently ranked 107th in greens in regulation percentage (65.20%) and 108th in birdie average (3.74). Spieth also ranks outside the top 50 in driving accuracy (61.86%), strokes gained: approach to green (0.148), strokes gained: putting (0.192) and putts per round (28.38). He’s not a strong pick to win it all, and there are far better values in the 2025 CJ Cup Byron Nelson field. See who else to fade here.
Another surprise: Jacob Bridgeman, a 60-1 longshot, makes a strong run at the title. He has a much better chance to win it all than his odds imply, so he’s a target for anyone looking for a huge payday.
Bridgeman is still looking for his first win on the PGA Tour, but he has all the tools needed to contend this week at TPC Craig Ranch. The 25-year-old has finished T-10 or better in two of his last four starts and enters this week’s event ranked fifth in strokes gained: putting (0.749), 12th in putts per round (27.78), 16th in scoring average (69.78) and 19th in strokes gained: total (0.922), making him a strong value pick for your 2025 CJ Cup Byron Nelson bets. See who else to pick here.

The model is also targeting three other golfers with odds of 35-1 or longer who will make a strong run at the title. Anyone who backs these longshots could hit it big. You can only see the model’s picks here.
